T-shirt Design Brief

About Us
The Gathering Place (TGP) is a new church plant located just outside San Antonio, Texas. We're looking for apparel that feels at home in a coffee shop, on a college campus, or at a worship night — modern streetwear energy, faith-rooted message, not religious-looking. Think bold, fun, confident — something people actually want to wear.

What We Need
A summer series t-shirt with multiple design concepts (see below).
Each concept should include:

A back design as the focal point (large, bold typography)
A front placement with 2–3 variations: (a) TGP logo only, (b) "The Gathering Place" wordmark only, (c) logo + wordmark combo , (d) "The GP" (left chest, center chest, or small back-neck options welcome)

Shown on both a white shirt and a black shirt
A multi-color Fiesta version and a single-color version of each

San Antonio Spurs Fiesta Theme
This is a summer series shirt with a clear nod to San Antonio Spurs Fiesta colors — the iconic pink, orange, and teal palette. Lean into that 80s/90s throwback Spurs energy: retro-modern, throwback jersey vibes, summer block-party feel. Designers should embrace the palette boldly — it's the personality of the whole shirt.

Color Palette — Fiesta
Fiesta Pink (hot/magenta pink)
Fiesta Orange
Fiesta Teal / Turquoise
Optional accent: Cream
Tee colors: white and black only

Print Technique — Puff Print
Designs must respect these technical rules:
No small text, thin lines, or script fonts
Minimum 2pt line thickness
Minimum 4pt negative spacing between elements
Sharp, well-defined edges only
Bold, blocky, dimensional shapes work best

Style Direction
Aesthetic: Modern streetwear, retro-athletic, throwback jersey, summer block-party, varsity, tour-shirt energy

Audience: Unisex, ages 18–50. C

Avoid: Anything that looks "churchy," religious clipart, script fonts, scripture references styled like a Christian bookstore, busy or cluttered layouts

Lean toward: Stacked typography, condensed sans-serifs, slab serifs, varsity block, retro athletic numbering, bold color blocking, confident negative space


CONCEPT 1 — "SEEK FIRST"
Back design ideas:

"SEEK FIRST" as massive stacked block lettering filling the back panel
Color-blocked treatment using all three Fiesta colors — e.g., "SEEK" in pink, "FIRST" in teal, with orange accents or drop-shadow
Optional secondary line: "THE KINGDOM" in contrasting weight underneath
Retro athletic / jersey-number treatment welcome


CONCEPT 2 — "KINGDOM MINDED"
Back design ideas:

"KINGDOM MINDED" in oversized varsity/collegiate block letters spanning the back
Treatment options: arched typography, banner ribbon, color-blocked letters in the Fiesta palette
Alternate direction: KINGDOM as the dominant word (huge) with "MINDED" stacked or running underneath
Tour-shirt or team-jersey energy — think back of a varsity jacket or vintage band tee in Fiesta colors


CONCEPT 3 — "GO MAKE DISCIPLES" (Great Commission)
Back design ideas:

"GO." as a massive single word — punchy, bold, takes up most of the back — with "MAKE DISCIPLES" stacked beneath in contrasting size/weight
Alternate direction: "GO MAKE DISCIPLES" in tour-poster stacked layout
Could play with a retro travel/tour-shirt aesthetic — like a summer tour back-print, with cities or "EST. 2026" detail in Fiesta accent colors

Open to subtle iconography but type must lead


Front Options (applies to all concepts)

Left chest: TGP logo
Center chest: "TGP" monogram or "THE GATHERING PLACE" wordmark, "The GP"
Combo: logo + small "EST. 2026" detail (bold type only, no thin fonts)

Small back-neck call-out welcome
